Colonial decline

Written by: Hamada Pharaoh
The internal problems of the colony are exacerbated by the increase in the gap of disagreement and unarmed conflicts between the forces of Israeli society, between the forces of right-wing extremism with religious extremism on one side, and the forces of the center-right with the rest of the components of the political currents on the other.
The solidity and biases of the Palestinian Arab society are increasing with each other in the face of the racist colonial policies, whether in Areas 48 or Areas 67, despite the intra-disputes between the Palestinian parties and forces in the two regions.
The colony's status at the international level is declining, despite what it has achieved during the past few years of normalization breakthroughs with some Arab countries, through the misleading Ibrahimi title.
The differences and priorities advance between Washington on the one hand and the extremist colonial leadership on the other, as Washington finds that its priority is to highlight the Russian invasion of Ukraine politically and in the media, while working to extinguish hot flames anywhere in the world, so as not to overshadow what is happening in Ukraine, and for this reason The United States calls for calm in Palestine, and to freeze the tyrannical provocative measures.
The protest events inside the colony may be the most prominent, as they continue for the tenth week in a row, and the participating segments expand and begin to take a dangerous curve by the reserve officers, which is tantamount to unprecedented disobedience and rebellion in this form, and of this size, as the Palestinian political forces and Knesset members began to participate after hesitation Who poured it on the basis of “watermelon breaks some of it” to raise the slogan of participation and contribution to the protests, while taking care to raise the Palestinian slogans, especially “no democracy under or with the occupation.” A slogan that may be acceptable or attractive to the left and middle Israeli segments, as the majority of The protesters do not give importance to what is happening in Palestine, because the official opposition forces are Knesset representatives: Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz and Lieberman. They originally belong to the right-wing camp, although they are less extreme and more moderate than the parties to the government coalition and the leadership of its four parties: Netanyahu, Aryeh Deri, Moshe Gafni. , with Ben Gvir and Smotrich.
The colony bet on the success of the Washington administration to achieve a breakthrough that Netanyahu sought and eagerly sought, represented by breaking the barrier of estrangement with Saudi Arabia and normalizing relations with Riyadh, but his thoughts and aspirations were frustrated and failed, as the American administration failed to achieve Netanyahu's desire and ambition, but rather the events went contrary to what he wished and aspired.
Lieberman accurately described the situation of the colony, saying: "Israel is collapsing from within, and has become isolated from the outside." He accused Netanyahu and his team and his coalition of having brought the colony to a situation it had never seen before. He concluded by saying: "We are on a very dangerous and slippery slope, and Netanyahu must take responsibility and resign."
The Palestinians and their leadership, whether in 48 or 67, must be national vigilant and set priorities in their calculations, and their priorities must be: unity, alliance, and coalition in the 48 areas through the follow-up committee, and in 67 through the institutions of the Liberation Organization and its tools, the Palestinian Authority.
